People didn't do anything, they didn't help the girls and violences because of the wars has become recently and the ones that suffers more are women and mans thinks that they can do everything they want as they think women are like a "toy" that they can do everything they want with it.
We can see that the life isn this type of countries, where there are not equal rights for men and women, they are exposed to suffer and tried to fight but there is a moment that they can't do more, there is the moment in where women tried to life to save the lifes of her son. Young girls that do not have money, they do not know how to read or write, and as she has scape from home she can not go back, she don't have anyone, no resources.
Many womens suicide as the problems they have, there is the moment whey can't do more and they think the best obtion is to die as if they didn't kill herself someone, her husband or someone from her family will kill her.
